Villanueva Series #2: Love's Fatal Twist

CHAPTER 10

"Good morning, Hija" Bati sakin ni manang, inalalayan ako nito para kumain

Napansin ko na wala na si Caleb, inikot-ikot ko ang paningin ko

"May hinahanap ka ba?" Tanong ni manang kaya napalingon ako sa direksyon niya

"Si caleb ba ang hinahanap mo?" "Manang asked again as she handed me my breakfast, I woke up at 8 am, "Maaga umalis si Caleb, busy ang sabi niya may mga bagong kaso siyang inaasikaso.

Tumango ako at kinuha ang inaabot niyang pag-kain sakin, I haven't even smelled the food for long and I'm already feeling nauseous. Nag tungo ako sa lababo hindi ko napansin ang pag-sunod ni manang sakin "Ayos ka lang, Hija?" Tanong nito ang muka niya ay puno nang pag a-alala habang tinatapik ang likuran ko.

"Ayos lang po, morning sickness po siguro ito" Inalalayan ako nito na umupo muli, "Ambaho po talaga pasensya na, manang" Sambit ko 'dahil masakit talaga sa ilong bawa't langhap ko sa pag-kain na nasa hapag kainan namin

"Sige, 'wag ka mag alala, ipag luluto kita ulit. Ano bang gusto mo?" Iniligpit nito ang pag-kain na siyang ikina-sasakit nang ilong ko

"Puwede po ba manang 'yung smoothies, cravings ko po 'yon eh" Sumilay naman ang ngiti nito bago ako iwan. Lumabas ako para mag pahangin habang nag lu-luto pa si manang.

Ang sariwang hangin sa labas na puno nang bulaklak, ang simo'y nang hangin ay nag papa-kalma sakin

"I sat on the seat, where there flowers on the side of my seat. I hadn't even been sitting for long. When my phone vibrated, and when I looked at the message I am surprised to see that Caleb had somehow managed to find my number and now he is messaging me.

Calebrius:
Just checking in. You doing okay?

His final question caught my attention, was he actually worried about me? My face fluttered as I tried to respond, but before I could say anything, Caleb sent another message.

Calenrius:
Let me know if there's anything you need

I didn't reply to his message, sinabi nang ayoko na ganito siya, mala'y ko ba baka may pina-plano siya, malala na ang trust issue ko.

Calebrius:
I'm worried. Are you alright?

Huminga muna ako nang malalim bago ko naisipang i-message na siya, "Baka naman sa baby ko siya nag a-alala? Tama."

Caliesolstice:
Pakialam mo?

Calebrius:
You're starting to piss me off, i hope you know that.

I turned off my cellphone, and at the same time, Manang called me. I was startled and quickly stood up, inalalayan ako nito pa-puntang hapag kainan.

"Nag message sa'kin si Caleb, ang sabi lutuin ko ito para sa'yo" Abot nito sa'kin nang oatmeal, egg, whole wheat toast, andito rin sa tabi ang smoothies.

"Manang, andami naman po" I chuckled.

"Utos iyan ni Caleb, kaya kainin muna, maganda 'daw 'yan at masustansya para sa mga buntis" Inabot nito sakin ang whiole wheat toast.

"Edi sana siya kumain nito! Feeling concerned" Bulong ko sabay tuloy-tuloy sa pag sak-sak nang tinapay sa bunganga ko

After I finished eating, I just took a shower. My hair is so messy, and I also realized that my hairdryer was broken. "Matagal pa naman matuyo 'yung buhok ko!"

Lumabas ako suot ko 'yung dress na binili saakin ni Caleb, napaka laki naman pero 'dito lang naman ako sa bahay kaya okay na ito.

"Manang, may hairdryer po ba si Caleb?" I asked, habang ang buhok ko ay pinu-punasan nang towel

"Check mo sa room niya, hija"

"Baka sakalin ako non, bawal po ako pumasok sa kwarto niya eh" Singhal ko

"Ay huwag mo intindihan 'yon" Sambit nito, ngumisi ako at dahan-dahang umaakyat sa itaas, kinatok ko muna para siyempre kunyare may permission, mamaya nanatili pala 'yung kaluluwa ni Krisella sa kwarto ni Caleb

Binuksan ko ang pintuan nang silid ni Caleb, malaki 'yung kama niya ah, madilin rin ang buong kwarto! sinasabi ko nanga ba maligno talaga siya eh takot sa liwanang!?

Puno nang paintings, lalo na puno nang libro.
"Law books" Basa ko sa isang libro, ka0ag mentally stable na ako, mag ta-take ulit ako nang bar exam, ipa-pakita ko sakanilang lahat na magaling ako at kaya ko

Nabalik ako sa realidad nang naisip ko bigla ang kailangan ko, "Hairdryer then sibat" Bulong ko

Binuksan ko ang mga drawers, halo-halo naman 'yung gamit ni Caleb hindi marunong mag salansan! wala pang ilaw yung kwarto niya! o baka hindi ko lang talaga abot yung pindutan.

Napansin ko ang picture frame, nakatumba ito, nang i-angat ko ay picture frame ni Caleb and Krisella, ito siguro 'yung araw na nag propose si Caleb kay Krisella, napangisi nalang ako at ibinalik sa ayos yung picture frame

"Calista?" I suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind me, and when I turned around it was Caleb himself who now stood in front of me "Anong ginagawa mo dito?" He spoke in a harsh tone and crossed his arms, as if he was pissed off that I have the audacity to go inside his room without his permission.

"Ah yung hairdryer ko kasi nasira..."

He raised an eyebrow when he heard I talk about my broken hairdryer, and his expression became even less friendly than it originally was. "Where's the hairdy-" As he went to finish his question, a sudden realization hit him.

"Wait, are you trying to tell me you went inside my room looking for my hairdryer?"

Tumango ako sakanya, "Hindi ko mahanap sa kwarto mo, madilim kasi!"

Caleb was clearly annoyed, but instead of responding he just stared at me for a moment. He was clearly still trying to process what was going on, and I could see that his patience was slowly running out with every second I kept talking. "So you broke your hair dryer, and you think going in my room without my knowledge and permission is a great idea?"

"Pasensya na, ito naman napaka ramot!"

"No excuse."

He glared at me before quickly walking past. without another word. It was clear that he was mad at me for invading his personal space without his permission, even though I were just trying to borrow his hairdryer. "Sarap kutusan nito, hair dryer lang akala mo!"

"Huy, see basa yung buhok ko, pahiram lang andamot munaman!" Iritang sambit ko. Napa kunot ito nang noo at tinaasan ako nang kilay

"Tska kanino ako mag a-ask nang permission wala kanaman dito kanina tapo--" Hindi na ako natuloy sa pag sasalita nang mag salita ito

Caleb was clearly annoyed that I were still trying to argue over such a petty thing, but he was too tired to care. It's obvious.

"Okay, you can borrow my damn hairdryer. Happy now?" He sighed, his patience was getting thinner and thinner with every exchange between us.

"Yan ganyan dapat sharing is caring"

"Just take the damn hairdryer." Inis na sabi niya sakin. His patience was quickly running low, and he was starting to lose his temper with me. I didn't care, because all I wanted was the damn hair dryer... I would do whatever it would take to get it, including pushing him to his limits.
